Château Mouton
Rothschild
Vintage
Selection
Founded in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the winery extends today over 90 hectares to the North-West of Bordeaux, on the edge of the Médoc peninsula.
Since 1945 the label for each vintage has been illustrated with the reproduction of an original artwork specially created for Mouton by a contemporary artist. In 1973 Château Mouton Rothschild achieved the status of Premier Cru Classé.
In Mouton wines, typical for the Pauillac Appellation, it is Cabernet Sauvignon that always predominates, providing rich tannins, aroma and flavour as well as ageing capacity. Merlot then adds roundness and exceptional length. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot conclude the typical Mouton blend.
Average age of the vines is around 44 years.
